Matey's in Minneapolis

We are currently in Minneapolis. We decided to take Jess to a doctor who specializes in Neuro and Biofeedback therapy. It has been a very positive decision so far and we look forward to the possible improvements we may see in Jess. It is not a quick fix as we know nothing is but the doctor is encouraging and we appreciate his positive attitude. The best news we have gotten is that Jess has a lot of brain activity. It is just a bit scattered and unbalanced. We will keep you updated as things progress.

We have not heard from the Cleveland Clinic so we do not know if Jess is still being considered for the brain stimulation study.

This trip is partially possible because of the fund raisers the kids did for Jess last year and we are very thankful to them. We miss school and all of the wonderful people that were there for Jess.

We will continue to try new things and search for options to help Jess recover and always appreciate all of your prayers and positive thoughts in our journey.

Hello Pam, Chris and Jess

Cindy here; we shared ICU time in 2004. My husband had a traumatic brain injury-he rode his motorcycle into a deer. We are doing well.

Dennis and I were married not quite 3 years when his big accident occurred. I kid that I've had 2 husbands for the price of one.

I work part time--hey, somebody's got to get the health insurance, don't they? And we travel as often as we can. Dennis is much more 'awake' when we are off and away from the routine. We have fixed up our rental property and figure to have that money recouped in, what?, 3 more years??!

You all are such a strong and loving family. Jess's accident has surely stripped off anything that is unnecessary and probably is a constant reminder of what is really important and long lasting in life. You all are earning your wings right here on earth.

I think of you so often and send positive energy and my never ending regards.

Love, Cindy Clark in Boise
